1 Their footsteps and the occasional breeze were stirring up small devils of dust.
2 Here and there, little breezes crept over the polished waters beneath the haze of heat.
3 For yards round the fire the heat was like a blow, and the breeze was a river of sparks.
4 A sudden breeze shook the fringe of palm trees, so that the fronds tossed and fluttered.
5 The nearer acres of rock flowers fluttered and for half a minute the breeze blew cool on their faces.
6 Ralph lifted the cream and pink shell to his knees and a sudden breeze scattered light over the platform.
7 Either the wandering breezes or perhaps the decline of the sun allowed a little coolness to lie under the trees.
8 The breezes that on the lagoon had chased their tails like kittens were finding their way across the platform and into the forest.
9 Ralph continued to blow till his ears were singing with the effort, but then the first breeze of dawn took the job off his hands and blinded him with ashes.
10 Then the breeze died too and there was no noise save the drip and trickle of water that ran out of clefts and spilled down, leaf by leaf, to the brown earth of the island.
11 The figure fell and crumpled among the blue flowers of the mountain-side, but now there was a gentle breeze at this height too and the parachute flopped and banged and pulled.
12 Once more, amid the breeze, the shouting, the slanting sunlight on the high mountain, was shed that glamour, that strange invisible light of friendship, adventure, and content.
13 When these breezes reached the platform the palm fronds would whisper, so that spots of blurred sunlight slid over their bodies or moved like bright, winged things in the shade.
14 Here the breeze was fitful and allowed the strings of the parachute to tangle and festoon; and the figure sat, its helmeted head between its knees, held by a complication of lines.
15 When the breeze blew, the lines would strain taut and some accident of this pull lifted the head and chest upright so that the figure seemed to peer across the brow of the mountain.
16 Yard by yard, puff by puff, the breeze hauled the figure through the blue flowers, over the boulders and red stones, till it lay huddled among the shattered rocks of the mountain-top.
